Lovely colour composition and shapes here, dear Gigi. Luckily I do not have to make any guesses as our Cornelius will come and tell us all the names of this eerie beauty!:) Thanks for this funny creature. SAM & SAAB
Referring to SAM's comment: it's the Aechmea fasciata, a member of the Bromeliad family. When the flower has gone, the plant will die, but than there will appear at the base of the trunk small offspring.
